Anissa Jones 3.11.58 West Lafayette, Indiana / D. 8.28.76 Oceanside, California Drug Overdose I�m trying to keep up with the war and peace news and of course I�m delighted that it�s done again to beat yourself with chains in Najaf. Liberation! Gives us hope for the subway token. As the pictures dwindle, though, I face an information drought; for I can�t absorb the content of the crawls across the bottom of the TV screen. They�re like a dew that doesn�t do it for me. The molecules are too big. It was about a year ago on CNN, I read: blah blah blah blah Actress Anna Paquin and my eyes shut down Anna Paquin dead! Too young too beautiful too talented to die of drugs a plane crash self-inflicted gunshot wound another terrorist attack! I sat, slack-eyed, heartsick, waiting for the crawl to come around again; and when it did, what did I see? �Actress Anna Paquin turns� some age �today� is more or less exactly what. I am all about observing the proprieties. Only grown men use chains. Boys beat themselves on the chest with their fists. It�s rapture. But since that bogus birthday scare I can�t accept the TV screen crawl form. To me, the strings of news-like words are only marks scratched a wall; and every mark is counting down a moment towards the final moment when the message finally comes: The real one about the actress Anna Paquin.
